Mail Invitations – The rule of thumb on invitations is mailing them 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding. However, today there are so many destination weddings which require early registration of guests. This leads many brides to mail invitations earlier than normal, especially if they are not sending a save-the-date.
Write Thank You Notes – It is helpful to write out your thank you notes as your gifts arrive, this will save time after the wedding. Etiquette dictates that they only be sent after the wedding, you shouldn't use notes with your married name or monogram on them until after the wedding!
- 2 to 4 Weeks before the Wedding
Order Programs – We can design your wedding program with as much flair and information as you wish. It’s much easier to get it exactly like you want if you do it early enough. We can also do itinerary programs for events at destination weddings or the in town weekend events of the wedding.
Address Announcements – Address your announcements but only mail them after the wedding.
